Let's start by analyzing the sun

Before heading to the water tower.

Hall Master Xuan Shi Lan Jiayao, with a relaxed and simple demeanor, first strolled around the stone steps leading up the mountain.

Since she was already here, the female Xuan Shi suddenly felt that perhaps she should imitate Special Envoy Cheng, enjoying the scenery and relaxing.

At this moment.

The female Xuan Shi subconsciously overlooked one thing—was it appropriate for a Xuan Shi to imitate a Xuan Shi?

Ascending the steps.

The steps were smooth and wide, with a height that was neither too high nor too low, making them quite comfortable to walk on.

Observing the surroundings.

As the Xuan Shi of the Heavenly Guard Hall had said, the one-meter-long stone pillar railings had floral patterns in relief form on their surface.

Either flowers or birds.

Or fish or beasts.

Taking a closer look.

The patterns showed no signs of carving, as if they were naturally formed, which was characteristic of the Stone Spirit Xuan Fa.

Lan Jiayao said softly, "Special Envoy Cheng has only been comprehending the Xuan Seal for a month, yet he has reached this level. He is indeed not far from condensing the second Xuan Seal."

The female Xuan Shi's tone was full of emotion: "Comprehending two Xuan Seals in just over two months is rare even in the entire Qinghan Xuan Palace."

The maid followed behind, echoing, "Special Envoy Cheng is indeed amazing!"

She couldn't help but add, "Special Envoy Cheng's appreciation ability is also very impressive!"

The maid didn't understand Xuan Fa, so she paid more attention to the relief patterns themselves.

In her opinion, the patterns were generally simple, yet they gave a vivid feeling.

For example, a gray-spotted sparrow, with only ten or so strokes, looked like it was peeking at passersby with a left-looking and right-looking posture.

It was really hard to imagine that this was actually made by a sixteen-year-old boy.

The mistress and servant walked nearly two hundred steps.

Lan Jiayao suddenly "eh" and her pace immediately slowed down.

The maid glanced at her master, didn't interrupt, and just slowed down her pace.

The female Xuan Shi walked slower and slower, and finally, it could even be described as "turtle speed" progress.

For every carved pattern on the railing, she would stare at it for more than ten seconds, or even longer.

A quarter of an hour later.

Lan Jiayao stopped and sighed a long sigh, "Too amazing."

This was another time she said the word "amazing."

From the tone of this sentence, it could be heard that the female Xuan Shi was truly convinced.

The maid was extremely curious and couldn't help but ask, "Hall Master, what did you discover?"

Lan Jiayao was quite friendly to the maid and replied, "These relief patterns incorporate Special Envoy Cheng's deep thinking about the Stone Spirit Xuan Fa."

She paused and gave praise again, "This is very remarkable!"

The maid was a little confused.

What was so remarkable about it?

Hall Master Xuan Shi decisively took out the communication Xuan artifact and quickly activated it.

"Buzz～"

A strange buzzing sound rang out.

Light and shadow emerged, condensing into a blurred half-length portrait.

A somewhat distorted male voice followed.

"Hall Master Lan, what can I do for you?"

Compared to Xuan formations, the clarity of images and sounds was much lower.

This was not surprising.

Reducing the size of the Xuan artifact to the size of a palm, in exchange for the convenience of portability, naturally had to pay a price.

Lan Jiayao replied solemnly, "Hall Master Hang, I have discovered some very important items that may be of great help in comprehending the Stone Spirit Xuan Fa."

The "Hall Master Hang" in the female Xuan Shi's mouth was Hang Yishi, the successor after she stepped down as Hall Master of the Heavenly Enlightenment Hall.

The other party's tone became serious: "Please speak!"

Lan Jiayao quickly said, "I am here at Huanlan Mountain now..."

She briefly introduced the matter.

Hang Yishi listened with increasing astonishment.

The maid beside her also listened with increasing surprise, and the look in her eyes at the stone railings changed.

The female Xuan Shi finally made a suggestion: "I think the Heavenly Enlightenment Hall should send people to protect the railings properly."

Hang Yishi sincerely thanked, "Thank you for the reminder, Hall Master Lan! I will come over immediately."

After the two exchanged a few more polite words, the communication was interrupted.

Lan Jiayao muttered softly, "Hall Master Hang has picked up a big bargain for nothing."

The Xuan Palace also had corresponding assessments for the Heavenly Enlightenment Hall. The Stone Spirit Xuan Fa was a Xuan Fa with considerable power, but it was difficult to comprehend.

The more Xuan Shi who mastered this Xuan Fa, the more benefits the Heavenly Enlightenment Hall would receive.

The maid couldn't restrain her curiosity and asked expectantly, "Hall Master, are these stone carvings even more powerful than inherited Xuan artifacts?"

Lan Jiayao didn't answer, but instead asked, "Who are the creators of the inherited Xuan artifacts?"

The maid blinked and replied, "Most are Xuan Du adults, and if it is a relatively precious Xuan Seal, the inherited object may come from under the command of a Divine General."

The female Xuan Shi then replied, "It is because the strength of the creators is too strong that they always unconsciously incorporate too many things, making it not easy to comprehend."

Lan Jiayao pointed to a relief next to her: "The insights left by Special Envoy Cheng are good because they are very simple and closer to the level of a Xuan Shi. This is a very big advantage."

The maid completely understood: "I understand! So simplicity also has its advantages."

Hall Master Xuan Shi said solemnly, "This kind of simplicity requires far more comprehension than ordinary people, and also requires an extremely deep understanding of the Xuan Seal, which even a Xuan Shi may not be able to do."

Lan Jiayao walked along the steps, with a tone of realization: "I finally understand why Special Envoy Cheng inexplicably came to build the steps."

The maid cooperated with a supportive tone: "Special Envoy Cheng is doing this to understand the Xuan Seal more deeply."

*

An hour later.

Below the giant water tower.

Lan Jiayao saw the goal of this trip from afar—Special Envoy Cheng.

The moment their eyes met, the female Xuan Shi couldn't believe her eyes.

Because this young Xuan Shi, who was famous in the Xuan Palace, was actually wearing a waterproof suit at this time.

His right hand was actually holding a bloody, thick-backed fish-killing knife.

"Dong! Dong!"

Only a few muffled sounds were heard.

With a flick of the hand and a drop of the knife.

A large fish nearly a meter long was neatly chopped into several pieces.

Special Envoy Cheng looked at the queuing civilians and shouted with a smile, "Come over and get the fish, everyone take two pieces."

Several civilians walked over happily and each picked up two pieces of fish.

In the crowd.

There were several fish-killing "knife masters" who were busy chopping fish.

But Lan Jiayao felt that this young man was working the hardest and was also the happiest.

"Woo!"

A Lingao puppy suddenly drilled over, circling around Special Envoy Cheng's legs.

This was a training puppy brought over by the patrolman who maintained order here.

Special Envoy Cheng "swish swish" finished chopping another fish, picked up a fish tail, and handed it to the puppy with a smile: "Little thing, here you go!"

The puppy happily wagged its tail, opened its mouth and bit the fish tail, and then drilled into the crowd.

Lan Jiayao was almost petrified.

This scene completely subverted her understanding.

My God!

A dignified special envoy of the Xuan Palace, instead of worrying about the important matter of poisonous spore insecticidal, ran over to kill fish?

Was this serious?

The female Xuan Shi stood blankly for a few seconds and sighed from the bottom of her heart: "Special Envoy Cheng is too..."

She wanted to say words like "willful" and "maverick", but finally changed her words: "Too strange!"

A Xuan Shi who kills fish with a smile, a Xuan Shi who condenses Xuan Seals and attracts spiritual tides, a Xuan Shi who invented poisonous spore insecticidal, a Xuan Shi who casually carves containing insights, which one is the real him?

Lan Jiayao encountered such a strange person for the first time in her life.

Just then.

The young Xuan Shi in the distance seemed to sense something and suddenly looked over.

The eyes of the two sides collided directly.

The young Xuan Shi was stunned for a moment, seemingly a little surprised that the female Xuan Shi would appear here.

Lan Jiayao instinctively gave a salute.

After finishing.

She realized she had done something stupid.

She, as a Xuan Shi, took the initiative to salute a Xuan Shi of a lower rank, too stupid!

If this Hall Master Xuan Shi hadn't practiced a relatively special Xuan Seal, she would have blushed on the spot.

The third update.
